Erzgebirgsbahn operates services hourly from Monday to Friday with gaps at noon and in the evening on the Chemnitz–Flöha–Pockau-Lengefeld–Olbernhau route.

The first serious proposals for railway construction in the Flöha valley and the area around Marienberg were put forward in the 1860s.

The Chemnitz-Komotauer Eisenbahngesellschaft (Chemnitz-Chomutov Railway Company) was founded in 1871 and in the same year began the first preparations for the Reitzenhain–Flöha and Pockau-Lengefeld–Olbernhau lines.

After considerable financial losses, the Saxon state bought the Chemnitz-Chomutov Railway Company in 1876.
